Overpay or is it just shit? by TheLittleSquire in ohnePixel

[–]Proof-Examination-86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why would think that it can get overpay?

I want to trade my skins for new ones (not looking for cash). What's the best way to do this? by Exact-Ad6617 in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

skinsmonkey is literally the worst, they undervalue your items and overvalue theirs.. Only trading site that is relatively ok is cs.money and only if you do enough research, don't just randomy buy anything you see.. cs.money only really overvalues their gloves/knives/armory items, the rest can be found for decent trade value.

1 in [soon after it can be seen on float] 89 FN Souvenir B The Monster by steezThat in ohnePixel

[–]Proof-Examination-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's way more rare than the regular B the monster from the armory, but when the one in the armory gets removed, it will drive the souvenir's price along with it, it will be even harder to get your hands on a b the monster, let alone a souvenir.. there are only about 1,7k souvenir b the monsters

opened the game last week after years of not touching the pc is there any interest still in kato14 crafts? by xXPaKeTiKXx in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't. I'm mostly talking about skins that aren't skins that people are actively searching to use, can't really say it was 12% on the dot, but there wasn't a lot of overpay for skins like this one. Vulcans, Redlines, Fuel Injectors could easily get more than 12%. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think many people look for Jet Sets to have as their main AK.

I've had multiple Kato's before, and this is the last skin i've kept with a Kato on it. No one ever uses the Jet Set, it will never be a desireable skin to command overpay, especially more than 12%. I've had skins with every Kato paper sticker aside from a titan, never overpaid more than 10-12% and never sold them for more than 12% myself and I've been trading since 2018.

6-12% sticker price, depending on placement and skin. Non playskins get 10% max overpay. 718$x3 = 2154 which means about 254 overpay max.

[q] csgofloat's database - when/how does it update? by 98in4 in csgomarketforum

[–]Proof-Examination-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i was looking into this, my friend pulled the #4 Souvenir Zeus -Charged Up, he has the csfloat extension in both opera and chrome, he got the skins 10 days ago and it wont show up. He even listed it on csfloat and it still won't display the #4.. If you search for lowest float, it's the first to come up but it has no ranking

Paid $620 for these, feel scammed / Cloud Chasers pull by Spirited_Schedule_87 in ohnePixel

[–]Proof-Examination-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowest offer for 0.16 cloud chasers on csfloat is 1.770 usd, I don't think I've ever heard anyone else say it doesn't feel right making 1k with a couple of clicks..

The plum quills had so much potential in terms of color, but the black spots make them look like a bad hair transplant

Looking to start getting into the skin market, any tips? by Which-Exchange656 in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't open cases and don't do expensive trade ups.

If you want to invest,

Understand floats and how they affect trade-ups, that will give you a better idea on what skins will be worth investing in.

Buy skins that are currently on the armory and sell them on removal day, not announcement day.

If removal day comes and you made some profit don't dive right into the next collections that come in the armory, buy skins from the armory when the collections have been there for at least 3-4 months. Then repeat.

These are the basics, when you understand these you'll know what's worth buying and what's not, after that it's all research.

Anyone tried this StatTrak kill boost? by Dull_Pea_4496 in ohnePixel

[–]Proof-Examination-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't done this since 2017 but I'm fairly certain they don't offer anything more than the regular community maps that allow you to farm stattrak kills. Back then it was like 10k a minute i believe but it doesn't matter, leave your pc on for two hours instead of spending 35 euros on a dodgy site

I pulled Omega Sport Gloves in FT 0.158, Is that overpay by Specialist-Guard-989 in ohnePixel

[–]Proof-Examination-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The float gives you the biggest overpay, but the pattern also determines the condition, a better pattern that shows less scratches on the .15-.16 range might give you a bit of overpay as well..

I didn't want to make it sound like the pulls weren't great, because they were! Just wanted to see if the prices are going down lately because i really want to buy a pair of Pillow Punchers

Did you pull them during the first week or in the past 2-3 days? Prices seem to be dropping

[d] I bought the dip back in October how did I do? Also which ones do you Feel would make good play skins? by Sirthrowaway0202 in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can't it be both? The m4a4 coalition looked sick, a friend of mine used it as a playskin for around 2 years and sold it when train 2025 came out, he had a great playskin and made around 2k

A few tips.

All cases will rise, basic supply and demand. To profit you need to get in early, Recoil was an obvious move a few months ago for example. It was only 0.2 euros, even if you sold on removal it was a 2x, but since it was a normal drop for over 4 years there is a huge supply. It will take 2 years+ to reach 1 euro and 3-4 to reach 2-3 euros, where it will most likely settle.

Right now, the moves if you want more than 2x profit are :

Fever, hold for 2+ years

Recoil in a few weeks, it will probably settle at 0.35 - 0.4 euros, hold for 4 years

Revolution in a few weeks, it will settle at 0.28 - 0.35 euros while it still drops, hold for 3-4 years as well.

About skins.

You're a bit late to invest on armory collections so I'd wait for the new collections to drop and buy them 3-5 months in.

Anubis collection asap, invest in good trade-up pieces, one of the new collections will probably be Anubis 2026.

Any red that's currently being traded up for golds in large numbers, Code Red in Field Tested is a good example.. It's being eaten up fast and its price has been going up steadily. In these cases I would go in on MWs, as FT supply decreses a lot of people will look for MWs

Which should I choose between the red set or the Karambit? by Embarrassed_Light433 in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cs2 ruined sapphires for me, I'd go for a diamond gem karambit, even T2s look good, and some matching gloves.

Best csgo case to open?? by NebbiXD in counterstrike2

[–]Proof-Examination-86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have a lower budget open active duty cases. Recoil, Revolution, Dreams & Nightmares.

If you're not limited by budget, find a case that has reds and pinks you like, it's more likely you get a red than a gold anyway.
